Getting Started Shotlisting
Finished your screenplay? The next step is turning that script into a shot list. Export a PDF from Final Draft, WriterDuet or any screenwriting app, upload it, and ShotKraft breaks it into scenes and drafts the shots for you.
Overview
Upload your script as a PDF and let ShotKraft automatically break it into scenes and generate your first shotlist draft.
Steps
Go to your Dashboard.
Click New Project → Upload PDF.
Select your script file.
Name your project.
Click Start Shotlisting.
ShotKraft will parse your script and generate the first scene's shotlist automatically.
Tips
Most users find the first draft is 80–90% ready to shoot.
You can refine details later. Start with momentum.
Troubleshooting
My script didn't parse correctly, or I got an error.
